Any idea when vBSEO plans to update so that those of us can have the user friendly link feature that came with this release. I'm talking about...

• Feature Request: Separating Forum/Blog/CMS/etc.
• Improvement Request: Please put CMS in /index.php and FORUMS in /forums/index.php
• Improvement Request: using blog/forum in subdirectory

You can update right now. vb fixed the issue on their end before 4.1.1 was released.

that said, you should still use vbseo to do all of those things instead of vb.

I'm on 4.0.8. 2

Afraid to update. Is it better, stable, should I update?
